Day 74 - Sunday 7 July

A very long driving day (500+ miles), from San Antonio, north west to Amarillo (Texas), where we rejoined Route 66. As distinct from the drive south, which was all freeways and spaghetti jungles, with shopping malls, hotels and restaurants by the side, this drive was on smaller freeways, with thousands of overhead power towers, wind turbines, oil derricks, and vast open spaces.

We visited the Buddy Hall Center in Lubbock - http://www.mylubbock.us/departmental-websites/departments/buddy-holly-center/home , and dined at Route 66's legendary- http://bigtexan.com/ , in Amarillo.
